What constitutes cannibalism?

I noticed at least one incident in this article (March 8, 2012), and the reference provided, does not actually report consumption, but merely biting off an appendage out of anger. This doesn't strike me as truly cannibalistic. I don't want to remove it (the story seems note-worthy), but am not sure of another article where it would fit.

Moving forward how loose is the term cannibalism used for this article?

I added the above mentioned entry, after thinking about it, I think that it should be removed.I propose keeping only entries about the actual consumption of human flesh/body parts.--Catlemur (talk) 19:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

India

There were several incidents of cannibalism reported from India in the last decade itself. Can someone add them. The news reports are available online. 117.206.8.174 (talk) 14:30, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Satanism in the 2002 Ukraine incident

"In July 2002, four Ukrainians were arrested in Kyiv for killing and eating a teenage girl. They were suspected of killing at least 6 people. Evidence showed that the murders may have been influenced by satanism. [110]"

The source does not provide or imply any links between the murders and Satanism, other than the quite subjective term "black magic". Jadanb07 (talk) 19:34, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Oral History

About 1897-1898 either in Clarksdale, Mississippi or Idda Bugga, Mississippi a sharecropper killed his wife and sold parts of her for beef for which he was executed[1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.179.53 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I found the book you mentioned – the editor's name is actually Richard M. Dorson. But folktales aren't "oral history" and cannot generally be treated as such. In chapter 1, the editor compares his collection with those made by the Brothers Grimm. But nobody believes Grimm tales to be literally true, which is why Hansel and Gretel and similar folktales don't show up in this List of incidents. And neither should stuff from Dorson's collection. --Gawaon (talk) 17:27, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
